There are about 58 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Sudan. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This study is to assess if shorter combinations of SSG plus single dose AmBisome®, Miltefosine plus single dose AmBisome® and Miltefosine alone are effective in treating visceral leishmaniasis in Eastern Africa.
A phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of three injections of 10 µg LEISH-F2 + 25 µg MPL-SE given at 14-day intervals as an adjunct to standard chemotherapy with sodium stibogluconate (20 mg/kg/day for 40 days) in patients with PKDL.
This is a phase II/III open, comparative dose trial to find the lowest single dose of AmBisome for the treatment of primary, symptomatic visceral leishmaniasis(VL), in HIV negative patients. In this trial, the minimum effective dose will be determined in a sequential step, dose escalation design, which minimises the number of patients exposed to low, potentially inadequate doses and provides contemporaneous comparative data against the manufacturer's recommended dose schedule in this indication.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum remains at sub-patent level throughout the dry season in areas of seasonal malaria transmission. Targeting this parasite reservoir before the transmission season could be a good strategy for malaria control. We are conducting a randomized double blind placebo controlled mass drug administration trial in eight village to clear the dry season low level parasitaemia with an ultimate aim of controlling malaria in eastern Sudan.
The purpose of this open randomised multi-centre clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that three pills of the fixed dose combination artesunate/sulfamethoxypyrazine/pyrimethamine, administered over 24 hours is not inferior in efficacy to the same drug administered over 48 hours and that the fixed dose combination artesunate/sulfamethoxypyrazine/pyrimethamine As/SMP fdc, independently of the duration of its dose interval, is not inferior in efficacy to 6 - 24 pills (number of pills administered to respectively children and adults)of the 60 hours treatment of artemether/lumefantrine for the treatment of uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria.
The newly introduced antimalarial drug artemether-lumefantrine is currently recommended as second line antimalarial in Sudan. Recurrent infection after treatment with this drug has been associated with selection of certain genes in the malaria parasite. However there is no information on this association in Sudan.This study is going to look into the genetics of resistance to artemether-lumefantrine.
In areas of seasonal malaria transmission, treatment of carriers of malaria parasites, whose parasitaemia persists at very low levels throughout the dry season, could be a useful strategy for malaria control in areas with a short transmission season. We did a randomized trial to compare two regimens for clearance of low level parasitaemia in the dry season.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of SSG 30 days alone, PM 21 days alone and SSG and PM as a combination course of 17 days in the treatment of patients with VL.
